Canadian Ambassador in the Dominican Republic Todd Kuiack gave the symbolic game opening pitch in the Toronto Bluejays vs. Minnesosta Twins game on Sunday, 3 April in Toronto. During the game, a recognition was made for Jose Bautista's 2010 season (54 homeruns, 124 rbis, Hank Aaron and Silver Bat awards).
Ambassador Kuiack, an avid baseball fan who still plays ball at the Old Glories League pitched a strike to Bautista as 35,000 fans watched on. Kuiack wore a Licey Tigers t-shirt from the Dominican Winter Baseball League, the winter team Bautista has played with.
During the game won by the Blue Jays 13-3, Bautista batted a homerun. Bautista signed a five-year US$65 million contract with the Blue Jays during spring training. All eyes are on him to check out whether his 54 homeruns in 2010 were a fluke.
Canada is second only to the US in travel to the Dominican Republic.
